You know LinkedIn learning has some great content it’s free up to point. And I think Glassdoor might. I always go to YouTube and search for trainings. Hope it helps!

I love the LinkedIn learning options so I echo the previous comment but also Coursera has some free options for Time Management and Negotiating online courses.

It's not a specific book--but I have found that gaining a better understanding of how people work, looking at psychology and what motivates people has helped my soft skills greatly.

I’m an early startup having raised a bit of money from family and friends to help grow my business. Time is moving fast and I’m potties I won’t hit my targets and being the return back to those who invested.
Once I have used the money that’s been invested there’s no way of seeing it again and still bringing the return quick enough.

The numbers still show it’s possible, I still believe in the concept and I’m still growing, I think I just have some imposter syndrome.

Any advice?

Hi community, humbly seeking professional HR advice. I recently joined my company’s HR team. In an informal conversation, a senior HRBP, considered a peer, called 2 of our fellow HR colleagues “worthless.” I should have rebuked her then & there but was so caught off guard. This person is 20 years my senior. In the same conversation this person advocated for me on a separate matter & complimented my performance. I am not sure what course of action to take at this time. Distraught & unsure.
